C O O K I N G W I T H K I D S / A lot of you ask what I cook for my little boy Dylan so in today’s @guardianfeast column I have shared a couple of recipes we love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sweet stuff can be a hard one with kids. My sweet tooth has unfortunately not skipped a generation, my son is as keen on an ice cream as I am. While I am not averse to a slice of cake at a birthday party or a 99 on the beach I try to keep sugar at home to a minimum. There are a couple of ways I satisfy both of our sweet cravings. Flapjacks are kids surefire favourites but are often laden with so much butter and sugar, masquerading as a healthy treat; a few oats will fool anyone. These little squares, however, are sweetened with some dried fruit and maple syrup, and, as sweet things go they are pretty full of goodness.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And just a side note, my Dylan is not an eat anything or adventurous guy when it comes to food and I am conscious of being real about the fact that some kids just have palates that like gentle food. It can all look a bit perfect in these squares sometimes by let me tell you a lot of plain pasta goes down in our house so just want to send a little love out to all you parents, we are all doing our best.

Take your taste-buds back to school with our classic Jam Roly Poly dessert! Made fresh with strawberry jam and served with custard, this old-fashioned treat is the perfect way to end a cheeky chicken dinner.
